the so fallible Bible

[John V]

OK, in response to my last question about the historical reliability of the Bible there was some quibbling about camels, but no one attempted to respond to the major claims, that the central narrative of the Old Testament never happened, there was no liberation from Egypt, no wandering in the desert, no conquest of Canaan. So I will move on to my next question.

You mean that in response to your elephant hurling, your first claim was shown to be incorrect.

Q: Is the Bible free from internal contradictions?

A:

Can you define contradiction as you're using it here? On another site, your definition became so watered-down that it wasn't troublesome for the Bible to have such contradictions.

Unfortunately for the inerrantists the Bible has a number of parallel accounts of the same event (often a fictional event) and there are divergences in the details.

The story is told twice in 2 Samuel 24 and 1 Chronicles 21 about a census of the fighting men of Israel ordered by David.

Remember, you probably won't get responses to elephant hurling, so is this the contradiction you want to lead with?
